"All go into the woods and search, and don't let a house or a single person spare!" shouted the commander from behind the soldiers. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
A large number of soldiers poured over from the narrow road, and after a while there were as many as 100 people, and those in the front row raised their torches and were about to search the semi-underground houses in the woods, when they heard a loud shout, "Hold the narrow road, and don't let more soldiers pour in!"
In an instant, dozens of tall and mighty King Kong people appeared from the woods, and rushed over with sledgehammers in hand. Dealing with this group of soldiers is like entering a no-man's land, few people can resist, and when the sledgehammer is swinging, they either lose their arms and legs, or they lose their weapons, and they roll on the ground crying for their fathers and mothers.
Dozens of King Kong people were like tigers, tearing open a hole in the surrounded soldiers, brandishing a sledgehammer and rushing to the narrow road, holding it to the death. Leaning on each other like nails, they did not allow more soldiers to enter the stockade through the narrow road, nor did they let them retreat.
Another wave of soldiers with red strips of cloth tied around their arms rushed from the woods shouting and killing, and fought with the city lord's soldiers with broadswords in their hands.
Things were suddenly a little delicate, the King Kong people were dancing with a sledgehammer and showing no mercy, relying on the innate height and divine power of the King Kong people, no one dared to fight them, and they retreated one after another. Dozens of people guarded the narrow road intersection, no one dared to rush over, and the King Kong people could not leave, for fear that a large number of soldiers would pour into the village from here, so they could only stand there a little stunned, a little at a loss for a while.
And the battle between the nearly 100 soldiers who rushed into Zhuangzi and Dong Fei's soldiers made people laugh and cry, although they did not belong to the subordinates of a thousand commanders, they were not in charge of the same. But they are all soldiers of Jiuyao City, and many of them know each other and even drink together and cross the mountains.
The two soldiers were quite merciless as soon as they fought, and it seemed that the swords were very lively, but the shots were like slow motion, not to mention what to take the key points, and there was no sound at all when the weapons intersected. The soldiers of Jiuyao City were reluctant to kill them, and so did Dong Fei's subordinates, not only did they not even bother to deal with it, but a few people who hadn't seen each other for a long time even sat on the floor and chatted in the night.
Shi Jingtian, Dong Fei and Zhang Yong hid in the woods with some soldiers and villagers, waiting for the opportunity to act. But no one expected this to be the result, I thought that there would be a bloody fight, so it seemed that there was still relief, so he immediately said to Dong Fei beside him, "Brother Dong, publicize the collusion between the city lord and the robbers to these soldiers, maybe it can buy us some time!"
"Good!"
Dong Fei did have some truth when he heard it, but the collusion of officials and bandits allowed these innocent soldiers to die, which soldier was not raised by his father and mother, even if he died, he would die as he deserved, and many of them were also sensible people.
Walked out of the woods and shouted to all the soldiers, "I am Dong Fei, the commander of the thousand, I received the news to exterminate the robbers who were preparing to slaughter Zicun, who expected the robbers to run all the way here, we took the robbers' lair with the help of the villagers of Zicun, and captured the robber leader alive, only to find out that it was the city lord and the robbers who colluded." “
"The city lord is afraid that the matter will be revealed, so he asked the master to send a large army to kill people and exterminate the mouth, and I and the soldiers and villagers can only hide here to resist first!"
"We have already sent someone to the imperial city to report the news, and in a few hours, the general of Lihuo will shoot the Red Army coming, and the matter will naturally be clear!"
"Being a soldier is not afraid of death, but we can't act for the tiger, death is not in vain!" Dong Fei shouted at everyone.
Jiuyao City is a main city, with about 50,000 defenders, five captains, fifty thousands, and Dong Fei is one of the fifty, and because of his upright and heroic nature, he often offends some powerful people because he is not afraid of the powerful, so many soldiers know him and admire him very much!
When Master Bai dispatched troops, he didn't say what to do, thinking that he was going to suppress bandits. Until it reached Yixiongzhuang, it was said that it was going to attack, and it was not clear what the reason was. When I saw a group of soldiers in the same city rushing out, I was a little confused, of course I couldn't kill him!
But now that Dong Fei shouted like this, many people heard it. This news was indeed a little shocking, and I couldn't help but put down the weapons in my hands and listen carefully. Then he asked the opponent tentatively, and then many people began to talk about each other.
Many of Dong Fei's soldiers were even more reluctant to meet each other with swords and halberds, and explained in detail how to go to Zicun, how to exterminate the robbers, and how to find out that the officials and bandits colluded to come here to hide.
For a while, no one made a move, the King Kong people were guarding the narrow road intersection, and there were two groups of opposing camps talking about it at the intersection, and many soldiers brought by the city lord believed Dong Fei's words, and scolded and threw away their weapons, but some were still confused or even dazed, not knowing what to do, but they would definitely not fight each other.
And the soldiers who were blocked by the King Kong tribe outside the intersection and did not dare to rush in didn't know what was going on when they saw this situation. Dong Fei was far away, and no matter how loud he shouted, he couldn't understand anything. I wanted to go forward and ask what was going on, but I was scared back by the murderous sledgehammer of the King Kong people. I could only pull my neck and ask the people I knew inside.
"Hey, what's going on?"
"They are all the subordinates of the commander Dong Fei, and they are said to be the city lord and the robbers and bandits who colluded to kill them!"
"Ah, Dong Fei's soldiers, who colluded with whom?"
"The city lord and the robbers are colluding! To kill these villagers and soldiers, Dong Fei has already sent people to the imperial city, and the general will send troops soon, so it will naturally be clear when the time comes!"
"Oh!
With such a question and answer, more people probably knew what was going on, but they were just thinking about whether to believe Dong Fei or the city lord. Of course, the lord of a city is the biggest, and of course the little commander can't compare, but Dong Fei said that he has reported to the imperial city, and it will be very different if the general will send the Red Army.
More and more people began to discuss, and the angry Master Bai's beard was cocked, and he shouted with a hoarse throat, "Don't believe Dong Fei's words, he is colluding with robbers and bandits, otherwise how could he hide in this village!"
"Master, why are those King Kong people here?" Some soldiers have also gone to Zicun to build weapons and farm tools, of course they know the King Kong people, and they are naturally tall and burly, and no one can pretend to be them!
"They... They..."Master Bai didn't know how to explain for a while, his face turned red and shouted, "Commander, Commander!"
The commander hurriedly ran over from the front and said breathlessly, "Master, there is a group of strong villagers with sledgehammers blocking the narrow road, and our people can't get through. The soldiers of the past were bewitched, and they didn't want to do anything about it!"
"Shoot me!"
"Master, where are you going to put the arrows?" there are still our people inside!" the commander was stunned.
"Shoot at Zhuangli and shoot to death all the soldiers and mobs who disobeyed the order!" Master Bai was indeed angry, and raised his voice vigorously, "The reward for killing a mob is one hundred taels, and killing Dong Fei will be promoted to a thousand-commander!"
Many soldiers may be full of doubts in their hearts, not knowing why they are facing the soldiers of the same city, and they don't know who is right and wrong after listening to so many discussions. But when he heard that the city lord said that there was a heavy reward and even a promotion to a thousand commanders, he was moved. It doesn't matter who is right or wrong, eat the city lord's money, be the city lord's soldier, of course, you have to listen to the city lord's orders, not to mention that there is a lot of silver.
"Bow and arrow formation!" ordered the commander.
Five hundred archers quickly formed a phalanx, with their longbows in hand, and their arrows wound.
"Back shot, two rounds!"
There was a rain of arrows, followed by another rain of arrows. The thousand arrows only covered almost half of the sky, and the black pressure was shot towards the two groups of soldiers and the King Kong people who were still talking about Yixiongzhuang.
This is not a rocket, and no one pays much attention to it by the night, and when it suddenly falls densely from the sky, Shi Jingtian shouted in surprise, "There are arrows, disperse quickly, and hide in the woods!"
In the open space in front of the village, many people raised their heads and noticed that the arrows in the sky had only fallen to the top of their heads, and no one expected that the city lord would release arrows regardless of the enemy, without any preparation, seeing that the arrows only pierced into the body, they fell to the ground with a scream, and then their bodies were full of arrows.
A small number of soldiers either stayed close to the nearby woods, or some skill, wielding broadswords, with the help of the bodies of soldiers who had been killed by arrows, before retreating into the woods.
Even if the King Kong people were born with divine power, they were far away from the woods, and the place where they stood was a little empty. Even if they tried to block, two waves of arrows fell, and many people fell in pools of blood.
Shi Jingtian's eyes were a little red, and he punched a tree trunk beside him, and the leaves fell. Whether it was Master Bai or Dong Fei's soldiers, only twenty or thirty people could escape the rain of arrows, while less than ten of the more than forty King Kong people came back, and all of them had a few arrows stuck in their bodies more or less.
"These brutes have no humanity, they can even kill their own soldiers! I fought with them!" Dong Fei's eyes were furious, and he picked up the mace beside him and was about to rush over.
"Brother Dong!" Shi Jingtian grabbed his hand, "Don't make any more senseless sacrifices, you take these King Kong clansmen and wounded soldiers to the back to bandage them briefly, and protect Lan Da Niang and the villagers of Zicun no matter what." ”
"No, I'm going to stop them here with you!" Dong Fei shook his head and refused.
"Take the remaining soldiers who are not injured yet, protect the villagers of Lan Da Niang and Zi Village, I can resist them in a free way! Brother Dong, you believe me!"
"How can I believe you, there are thousands of people in the master, how can you resist alone!"
"Then, when you and I meet, it can be regarded as a life-and-death relationship, it's just who takes one step first and who takes one step later!" Shi Tiantian patted Dong Fei's shoulder heavily, although there was a smile on his face, it was more firm.
